Tech Tip Tuesday - Rear Derailleur Clutch

In a previous Tech Tip, Drew walks us through removing the rear wheel from a mountain bike and mentions that some rear derailleurs have a clutch. In this week's Tech Tip, he explains how to disengage and engage them for easier wheel removal. #onlystans

is the clutch adjustable? Some say it is, some say it's not.

Thank you. I had a hard time finding the button. If you can make close-ups in future videos that would help an unskilled mechanic lik me. I appreciate this help.

So should have it activated when you ride all the time? I was under the impression it’s good to have it on when climbing but not on descends?

Where do you actually adjust the clutch tension? This doesn’t help me from my chain dropping it just is for removal of the wheel 🤷🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🙄
